"Well...that didn't...go as well as I'd hoped," Dak said, gasping for breath and picking himself up off the ground, drawing his knives in one fluent motion. He sticks his regular knife into the ground within reach, and grabs a blue concoction out of his bag, quickly gulping down the smelling salts and then attacks Elena, from the back row, with his Throwing Knife.

Guts joins Dak in the battle against the Shadeaux guards. Both rogues consume Smelling Salts to hasten their moves. The Shadeaux Guard named Deuces conceals himself into the shadows of the park, decreasing the chances of hitting him in the next turn. Dak avenges his wound to the markswoman, hitting her with his throwing knife for 17 damage. The remaining guard is free to attack Guts from behind, dealing 5 damage.

All of you, choose your target and the row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee or if you want to use an item instead of attacking.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone have acted.

I pursue the Count.

Dyric dashes after the fleeing count. It doesn't take much to reach the coughing man. Dyric grabs the count's cape and makes him tumble to the ground. The count showers the rogue with curses as he draws his rapier from its sheat and points it to the rogue.

It looks as though Sandy got Dak's hit and the Free Hit confused, as the Free Hit on you should have done 5 damage and my hit should have done 17. Also, both the Markswoman and you have take Damage as I stated, as in the updated stats.

Dak attacks Elena twice.

Sandy fixed it after I posted.
"Maybe wanna make sure I don't get a free hit on me, kid?"

Guts gulps down a Nostrum to make himself luckier. And sure enough, he manages to mug Castor for halved power, causing 26 damage and stealing 26 gold. The Lifestealer restores 3 health to the rogue, as well. Dak hits Elena again for 22 damage, and then chances his target to Deuces, but misses. The Shadeaux Elite Guard moves out of the shadows.

QM Note: I apologize, but I honestly rolled four 6's in a row. Blame my die, not me. I also need to adjust the description of the handbag slightly, since it wasn't supposed to make the holder immune to any effect inflicted on themselves.

I've faced entire armies. My worse nightmares. Sights you can't imagine. Since I can rememeber, I've been stabbed in the back, betrayed, and left for dead. What on earth makes you think I'm scared of you?

Seeing the younger rogue fall, Guts takes out the Beholder's Eye for the very first time, hoping that it truly worked. And sure enough, as he held it up, the air around him started to twist and turn, and in a gut-wrenching moment he was whisked back in time to one minute ago. Dak was still standing next to him with a focused expression on his face. Satisfied, Guts then prepared to attack the Elite Guards again.

Guts slashes the Lifestealer towards Castor, dealing a critical hit that causes 39 damage and restores the rogue back to full health. He then mugs Deuces for 51 damage and 51 gold. Dak misses his first strike on Elena, but scores a critical hit on the second, dealing 32 damage.

Dyric hits the count for 33 damage - and the count flinches! Normal weapons work on the count, so he is not undead after all. But what is he then? Count Shadeaux growl at the rogue and prepares for another round of battle.

Guts first mugs Castor, defeating him and snatching 2 more gold, then deals 39 damage with a critical hit to Deuces. Dak takes out Elena in one hit, then mugs Deuces' lights out, pilfering 2 gold as well.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS!

Both party members gain half of a level. The enemies drop 100 gold and a Darksteel Crossbow.
